It's not just about space but also about throughput. This is imho a very complicated approach to exclude some (small) important users from an OOM killer. The real question is whether you can do an OOM killer at all and achieve something useful by doing so. Most performance tuning gets harder when you split resources and consumers in different groups and manage them separately. Sharing is easier with large numbers.
